W4.7 Tril. in Bonds Scheduled for Issuance This Week... Demand Forecasts for Lotte E&C and Others

A total of about 4.7 trillion won in credit products, including government bonds, monetary stabilization bonds, financial bonds, and corporate bonds, is scheduled to be issued this week (August 18–21).

According to data from financial authorities and the Korea Financial Investment Association today (August 17), competitive bidding for 3 trillion won in 10-year Treasury bonds and 610 billion won in 91-day Monetary Stabilization Bonds is scheduled for tomorrow.

On August 20, 150 billion won in Treasury bonds for individual investors will be issued.

The credit market is experiencing a relatively low volume of issuances due to the off-season, which coincides with the summer vacation period and the semi-annual earnings reporting season.

Key upcoming issuances include 200 billion won in Land and Housing Bonds tomorrow and 200 billion won from Seoul Metro the day after tomorrow.

Last week saw a high volume of issuances in public corporation and special bank bonds, such as those from Korea Electric Power Corporation and the Korea Housing Finance Corporation, alongside Korea Development Bank bonds, Industrial Bank of Korea bonds, regular bank bonds, and specialized financial company bonds like capital company bonds.

Corporate bond demand forecasts are also scheduled for this week.

There were no demand forecasts conducted last week.

The day after tomorrow, demand forecasts will take place for 50 billion won in Lotte Engineering & Construction (A) corporate bonds and 20 billion won in Eland World (BBB) bonds.

On August 21, there will also be a demand forecast for KB Financial Group's contingent convertible capital securities (CoCo bonds) amounting to 270 billion won.
